His presence did not go unnoticed. Lionel Messi (35) was seen at Riyadh airport, capital of Saudi Arabia, on Monday the day following PSG’s new defeat once morest Lorient (1-3). His presence is probably linked to his lucrative contract as the country’s tourism ambassador.

On Sunday, he had also posted a message on his Instagram account as part of a paid partnership with “Visit Saudi”. “Who thought Saudi Arabia had so much greenery? I like to explore its unexpected wonders whenever I can,” he wrote as a kind of announcement of his next visit.

Last March, the Argentine press explained that Messi’s expected visit to Saudi Arabia was unrelated to his sporting future. At the end of the contract in Paris next summer, the Argentine star would be courted by the club of Al-Hilal, great rival of Al-Nassr where Cristiano Ronaldo evolves. An offer of 400 million euros a year has even been made to Messi’s entourage, even if the latter wishes to continue his career in Europe.
According to information from RMC Sport, Messi will not be a Parisian next year unless the club’s decision-makers in Doha overturn the table. The Argentinian arouses especially a very big expectation on the side of Barcelona where the leaders do not stop proclaiming their desire to see him return two years following his departure. The Camp Nou crowd regularly chants the name of their former idol in the 10th minute of home games.
